January 8, 200719 yr my outlook express crashed last week and i ended up having to reinstall the whole XP operating system to fix it. now everyhing is working ok but the keys on my keyboard are all muddled up for example the @ key comes out as " and the pound sign has disappeared completly the main letters are ok but most of the character thingys arent is there anything i can do other than by an apple?
January 8, 200719 yr The muddled up keyboard issue is due to it being set to U.S English. It needs changing to U.K.
January 8, 200719 yr Yes, go to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options Check all the settings are set to English(United Kingdom)
January 8, 200719 yr Sounds like you are maybe living in Scotland and are using an English keyboard. My father in law had the same problem and he's only just over the border. Incidentally he's not too bright either. Oh I'm gonna regret this Sorry OTH - it's revenge for years of abuse by a nasty Scottish woman
January 9, 200719 yr Author No worries Bikespace (i'm sure you dont ever want to ride the Scottish anyway ) i may not be able to work a keyboard but i can rebuild one of these!
January 10, 200719 yr No worries Bikespace (i'm sure you dont ever want to ride the Scottish anyway ) Doh - just as nasty as my better half, you're all the same Not sure I'll ever get fit enough, but I'll shut up just in case
